  • dnt want to offend shah but the blunders do seem fixed

  • 5:41 rock A2

  • @punkmanzz exd4

  • The GM's blunder (b3) was very idiotic. I can't believe this was actually considered a serious game.

  • i like your website

  • At 04:45 and at 04:50 total other positions.

  • I like your chess videos :) just a small question what program u use to explain the chess games? Cuz I like the didactic arrows and circles that show your explanations

    And another 2 questions , do u have a favorite phone chess app to play chess online? And what's your rating?

  • are u good at chess !

  • Its Hé-th-ul shah :)

    loved the video :D

  • 17.b3? is a poor move, but it's 19.Ne2? from which White's defeat stems. This position has happened before in a game from 1952, in which White played 19.Rb1. After 19...Qxd4 20.Qf3, Black is a pawn up, but it is not hopeless for White. In fact, in the 1952 game White managed to salvage a draw.

    After 19.Ne2, Black walks over White for the rest of the game.

  • hetul shah has just 1953. he is 11 now....

  • White played so dreadfully it was entertaining to watch :P

  • Could you comment on why black played Bf1 in the first place? Was he perhaps worried about the Q swinging over to the K side?

  • 2407 is NOT grandmaster level. But it's still impressive obviously

  • Pause at 10:38. White's move Kh1. Black Bg5. White Ph4. Black Bf6. White Rook takes pawn on d4. Now Black is down to just the queen against two Knights and a Rook? How is this not a better situation for white? After Kh1, black could have responded with Qg6, but he still loses the bishop, and now he has to make a choice between the Qg6 or Pd2. Black Qc6 after Kh1? Even so, Ktd2, Black bishop recaptures and Rook recaptures again? Maybe Qc1 after white Ktd2? Kh2, Qd2, Rd2, Bd2? More P's black win?

  • I beat a GM when I was nine, too, but I didn't tell anyone. I didn't want to brag.

  • love the music in the beginning. gets me fired up for chess. lolz.

  • In my opinion it wasn't really a win by "chess means". There was no "amazing" play just standard theory a blunder and basic tactics. I think it was more of a condsiderable underestimation from the GM that didn't seem to put much effort into the game.

    and a GM with 2407 isn't really a GM (just on paper he is)

  • @4:48, Horsey can go to b3

  • overconfidence kills

  • "kasparov is saying the middle of the board is kasparov's house" i love you j

  • After Qc3, isn't Bb2 the best response for white? Saves the rook and the attacked knight and only gives up the good but inactive black square bishop? After the knight sac, I think it keep material even as well, no? Let me know, Jrobi :)

  • Wow. Truly a giant-killing match if there ever was one in chess. If you can beat a GM at the age of 9, I predict he'll be really up there with karpov, kasparov, fischer perhaps?

    And he was black (no offense intended lol) as well, amazing. I'm jelous of his Chess Skills, I'll never be that good. :P

  • Brilliant match by the 9-year-old! A name to look for on the future...

  • 9:46 isnt that checkmate for white if he moves the rook down?

  • @snicky0nicky he can get that rook with the queen or block the rooks check with the bishop.

  • @snicky0nicky Black Queen defends it

  • @snicky0nicky

    Nearly, but black's dark square bishop can block the check.

  • jrobi did you learn how to mate with rook?

  • Age dosent matter in chess

  • @XRMxSnlp3r

    It does matter, except 7 and up is up for grabs. :)

  • @XRMxSnlp3r You're right, it doesn't matter. But it is quite impressive.

  • wow .. just wow

  • Wow, what a shitty GM.

  • damn...how did he become strategy genius?

  • Dude whats your rating???

  • wow very very nice!!

  • Maybe he did it because he thought the rook was undeveloped in that posistion (at 5:57) and took age for granted. who was the GM btw?

  • Watch this dramatic 1 min. chess promo!!!  search

    2010 Ontario Chess Open Championships

  • at 7:00, why didn't white move queen to b2?

  • @Imran500 if queen played b2 the white will lose its bishop and a queen trade might take place

  • White goes first and thus has a bit of an advantage.

    I think Fischer said that his game improved dramatically when he started playing to WIN with Black, instead of to draw.

  • what is the difference between white and black pieces

  • From what I understand black is more based on stopping the victory with a draw more than going for a win. I could be wrong though.

  • @godhatesfuzzykittens Black maybe has a forced win against any first move by White, but maybe chess is a draw.

  • Main;y white is more offencence

  • and at 10.09, after black moves pawn to h6 why didn't white simply move f1 knight to d2 taking the pawn then if black bishop takes the d2 knight white rook takes the bishop then its 1 rook and 1 knight against the queen the GM didnt need to resign any thoughts on this 1 aswell??

  • at 5.24 what if white moved his c1 bishop to b2 then if black queen takes b2 bishop then white moves e1 rook to e2 so now e2 rook is defending c2 bishop and white queen is defending both rooks the c2 bishop and the d4 knight thus allowing plenty queen trade chances any thoughts on this??

  • Guess this shows that you can never count on your opponent making a mistake, no matter who they are or how skilled they are.

  • ERRRR the grandmaster played like an absolute dick.

    Anyone can win against a grandmaster depending on his age, or if you catch him at a bad psychological time.

    chess players are like boxers they peak at a certain age. Also it's obvious if you understand psychology of chess that what happened in this game was a spiral down. the grandmaster couldn't handle the fact that he got into a slightly worse position and spiraled down instead keeping composure. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME strong opponenets spir

  • I never saw the match, but I think the GM was cocky. He or she underestimated there opponent probably due to there opponents youth and assume inexperience in chess. The GM probably made an error in judgment. Then after the blunder, he or she got frustrated when he or she couldn't gain the better position against the younger assume less experience player.

  • @tonybeir

    SO THIS 9 YEAR OLD IS JUST STANDARD?

    hats off to him, even if he did beat the grandmaster on a bad day.

  • white played REALLY bad after the initial mistake which i dont think was a game ender ! it seemed like he just gave up those atacks on the queen where pathetic !!! 1 rook down isnt a game ender

  • after that bxnf4.....nd2 not a good move budy

  • i have an idea of what white could have done to save that rook

    At around 9:38, white could have moved his f1 knight to d2 and defended that rook.

    any thoughts on the move? i dont see anything too devastating that black could pull off after that...

  • @oemzazri Well, bxe4 IS devestating, b/c the rook on c8 attacks the queen, winning a free rook =P

  • Your videos always interest me despite the fact that I suck at chess.

    Keep it up, JRobi.

  • wow

  • man... i wish i had good strategy skills lol.

  • Wow- props to that kid, damn.

  • what is the significance of the child winning with the black pieces that is mentioned as an important fact at the introduction of the video?

  • Generally speaking black is a move behind from the onset of the game. It's small, but noteworthy especially in this game.

  • at grand master level white has a significant advantage. when a GM is playing as black he is playing for a draw.

  • @arweiss21 funny :D

  • @arweiss21 go play with dolls, noob

  • I think that it is interesting to watch how calculated all of his moves are. I was looking over the game and I am not sure what he could have done later on in some instances, but I do agree that believing that Hetul Shah would make a mistake was a major error. Just considering the possible proffesional responses would have discounted many of the moves. Once again proving the need to never underestimate.

  • Wow! Hetul Shah is going to become the new Magnus Carlsen! Even though noone can match Carlsen's superskills! He's from Norway! Yay!

  • best ive done is a draw against spassky years ago this kid is insane though

  • I absolutely love the vids you make but please stop removing people's comments then replying to them

  • I dont remove comments and reply to them. Sometimes the author of the comment removes it afterwards. Not sure why exactly, but it generally happens when they say something incorrect. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • According to Wikipedia,Hetul Shah of India became the youngest player to defeat a grandmaster in a 'tournament game at standard time controls'.As far as David Wei Liang Howell is concerned,he is the youngest player to have defeated a Grandmaster in an 'official game'. He defeated GM John Nunn in a blitz game.

    Please don't remove this comment until you have better source to prove it wrong.Also thank you for this nice video and for frequent replies to other comments.

  • That's correct, so in terms of the youngest player to defeat a chess grandmaster in a competition, it was David Howell at the age of 8. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • @loduuu1 Wikipedia isn't wrong. Hetul Shah is the youngest player to defeat a grandmaster under STANDARD TIME CONTROLS. David Howell beat a GM in a BLITZ GAME.

  • Watching this video really made me think of this chess quote.

    "The winner of the game is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake." -Tartakover-

  • Comment removed

  • Your comment isn't correct, In 1999 David Howell became the youngest player to beat a grandmaster at the age of 8. Hetul had an awesome accomplishment by being the youngest player in India to defeat a grandmaster, however.

  • Wow the kid is amazing...that is why i love this game...great vid Jrob......

  • Agreed - definitely an amazing accomplishment. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • Man, i watched a lot of videos on youtube about chess, but yours are great! Are very enterteined, helpful, and dinamics.

    Thanks a lot, and keep the hard work!

    (sorry my bad english, im from Argentine)

  • Thanks FancoiseT - I appreciate the comment!

  • Nice game played by the kid. Jrobi, keep up the great videos and commentary.

  • Thanks ericsosna!

  • The 9 year old was very talented, but at the same time the Grand Master played without any thought. For him to resign at the end was rediculous. He could have turned it around. Or atleast forced a draw. At the final stage, he could have definately moved the king from check, pressed an attack on the bishop, then protected the pawn at H3 while pushing to a promotion. Hah. That 9 year old now has quite the story for the grandkids.

  • Do you really think that he had a chance at this point to win? come on! He should have resigned earlier.

  • He had chances to draw, since he is much better than Hetul, maybe he thought Hetul might slip up.

  • by having chances to draw, do you mean the GM would've had to whittle the pieces down until there are just two kings remaining? seems quite a task considering how Hetul had played thus far.

    (relatively new to chess, sorry. i don't see many draws take place)

  • Resigning was right. Im no expert but should Kh1 then Id play Qf2 threatening f2 protecting d2 and f4 even if white doesnt move and blocks the path of check with Ne3 then you'd just trade off all ur pieces then promote the pawn. Those a just a few ways to really destroy white from this position

  • Comment removed

  • I disagree - in fact I was very excited about his accomplishment which was the inspiration for this video. However, it's incorrect to say he is the youngest player in the world to defeat a grandmaster. That goes to 8 year old David Howell.

  • Comment removed

  • Why would I re-phrase an accurate statement? He is the youngest chess player in India to defeat a GM, which is what I said, but he isn't the youngest player ever to defeat a GM in tournament play. I might do a video on Howell's accomplishment at some point, though. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • He resigned because the game was completely lost. Either he would have lost the rook, a knight or let the black pawn go

  • Great video and the kid play a great game

  • strong play by the kid .

    awesome vids , keep them comin

  • pretty awesome match. Way to us the bishops

  • the gm disapoint me. they had like 2 hour to checkmate and his make beginner mistake

  • Great video, and a very nice analyse, Jrobi :)

  • 9 years? I think Im just goin to commit suicide, that was brilliant game for such a young person.

    However its true that, this so called "GM" make many mistakes. Nurlan Ibrayev definitely underestimate his opponent and I think this game was big kick for his Ego :)))

  • isn't a rook and a knight worth a queen?

  • Close but not quite - it's about a pawn worth short. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • rook worth 5 points, Knight worth 3 points, and Queen worth 9 points, If I'm not mistaken.

  • Granmaster ?Grandidiot...why didnt he play towerB1 ?No way would the other guy play QE1 and offer his queen for a tower.

    Idiot.

  • Rook(tower) to b1 is actually not that good, but a blunder, worse than knight to e2 which the grandmaster played. If Rook to b1 then just pawn takes knight, the other knight has to move, and then the queen just takes the bishop at c2. This is much worse than what happened in the game, because knight+bishop>rook.

  • 9 YR OLD rating over 1800 ?! He'll clobber me, and I'm 30 yr old.

  • Very strong for his age, no question about it. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • Are you familiar with Chinese Chess? Koreans and Japanese play a similar version, Viets are very familiar with Chinese Chess as well. I grew up with the game myself. I'm sure Youtube has some vids on it.

  • The next Anand ...

  • Possibly - time will tell! =)

  • Thanx for this comments and showing moves

  • I call shenanigans. >:(

  • thanks for a great walkthrough of the match! I don't play much chess, but this was exiting.

  • Thanks Aznagroth!

  • i enjoy watching chess.. but i an not good stratigicaly... id fail epicaly lol.. this was nice

    never underestimate your opponent. play hmi as hard as you would anyone else =)

  • I think this was a case of underestimating your opponent which led to the a blunder.

    I do this all the time when I play people where their ratings are much lower than mine..oh well, life goes one. If you learn from your mistakes then it was worth it imo...

  • GM are humans after all. Grats to Hetul Shah! :p

  • 9 years old?omg and sorry alot i wanted to press the play button but i accidentally rated it two stars sry :(

  • i really like your video man :)

  • Thanks for checking it out!

  • In the GM's defense, if his ELO rating was low 2400's then he wasn't in his prime. That's basically the low side of an IM isn't it? But still, getting crushed by someone 600 points under you couldn't have been good for morale. :P

    And dropping the queen like that was pretty astonishing. Do you happen to know if he was in time trouble at that point?

  • Ratings don't really mean anything. They just kind of reflect your skill level.

  • Ecstaciiccchak: If they reflect your skill level then they mean something...?

  • Not really. Just think about it: if ratings didn't exist, then we would just think of a good player as a really great chess player instead of what his rating was.

  • Ecstaciiccchak: We do that anyway, ratings are there to quantify how good a chess player is instead of going just on qualitative evidence. And we created a rating system to do just that, so they have meaning. This video is to show that we're human and we make mistakes, not to show that ratings have no meaning.

  • It's mindboggling watching GM games. Amazing.

  • Couldn't the GM have been thinking about trapping the Queen with Bb3 then Bb2 after b4? Just a thought.

  • Not a big chess-fan but it was a cool video :D great story in the beginning

  • probably made a mistake just because thought he could be lazy and felt sorry. It feels horrible to completely wreck someone you outclass. Then again, he looks really stupid for losing

  • Thanks for sharing that was great.

  • well i wont play that 9 year old, just not to get embarresed

  • omg a nine year old

  • Underestimated is correct. It's still not an excuse to not play serious...so good job to the tyke.

  • Amazing that a nine year old can be that good at chess. The GM was prolly just having a bad day, total fluke. :P

  • when Shah moved the Qc7 to c3.. Nurlan could have moved Bc1 to b2 instead of Nd4 to e2 >.> but 9 year old beats GM... thats a striking headline in history lol

  • I see at least 3 moves ahead, this 9 year old is amazing though, dang!!!!!!

  • also, instead of moving it from C1 to C3, I would have moved it from C1 to CD1

    (9:55)

  • omg? what? wow that kid is really good

  • mis pierre

  • 9 years old age was the deadliest weapon.

    i guess the GM undermined the little one, any way good game by Shah.

  • undermined or underestimated?

  • i guess you got the point... me no speak english...

  • at 9.40 why the GM moved Re1 ??

  • dude get a life no gm is suckish dick head everyone makes blunders get alife

  • well guys this Gm must really suck :)

  • well i cant understand how would a GM didnht see 3 moves ahead when he made the blunt :/ i mean didihnt he notice the c square stays alone? congrats to the boy really good game for a 9 year old :)

  • 7.13 video gets stuck =(

  • im only 9 and i cant even beat my dad well i can some times lol

  • is your dad a GM??

  • the dad is only a daddy-o

  • wow I didn't even notice a blunder from the master. That's how sucky I am at chess

  • Great game, that is insane that he beat a grandmaster at age 9.

    What program do you use to review the games? I have an FICS account and would like to review some of my gameplays to become a better player.

  • Can you say Bobby Fisher?

  • well...i sux in chess...but ur vids are AWESOME!! :)

  • where do u play chess online?

  • Mainly the FICS server - I have a vid up on how to get setup there. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • Hi jrobi, thanks for the sharing the video, Hetul Shah was quite remarkable to say the least, but was helped a bit from the GM blundering, but all credit for hm acknowldeging the weak queen side and maintaining advantage further more.

  • at 5:41, why doesnt the grandmaster just move the rook and let the pawn take the knight. their material would still be equal wouldn't it? anyone mind clearing that up for me?

  • It would have been better for the GM to save the rook, no question, but black would be up a pawn. The GM definitely made a mistake, but more interesting was that the nine year old not only maintained the advantage, but did so in a very clear and decisive way. Definitely a great game.

  • Hi, jrobi,

    I'm a Japanese and I've been uploading Shogi (Japanese chess) lesson videos in English for several months, and recently I found your chess videos. They're great. I think your videos are the best chess videos in youtube.

    The softwware you're using is also great. The graphics is good and it shows many arrows, circles, and highlighted squares. I wish there were that kind of software for Shogi, too.

    I'm learning a lot from your videos. Keep up the great work.

  • Thanks HIDETCHI! I appreciate the comment and will check out your vids!

  • Sorry i just realised there was a pawn attacking the knight aswell

  • when he forked the rook and knight couldn't he just move the rook because the knight is protected by the queen?

  • It would be taken by the pawn

  • Man o man...I know this guy...I have seen him 2 years back...he was quite good even at that time...but,now he rocks...awesome!!!

  • he followin the foot steps of greats like paul morphy and bobby fisher....jst look at his preparation!astonishingly great performance! i wonder how he could think a move ahead of the GM!

  • Roooock

  • Your videos rock man!!!!!!!! your rock!

  • well if i must say that was AMAZING haha the details were just fantastic haha honstly i liked it it was great ... you cuaght my attention right at the beginning

  • i learned lots of moves by your vid thanks ~!

  • I watch every single one of your videos jrobi. Thanks for posting.

  • I fell apart about halfway through...totally out of my league =/

  • yOUR VIDEOS ROCK MAN

  • Great video, and that was some serious skill. Jrobi, I'm in need of some help, I can play my pieces well, but I'm, horrible at setting up my pawns, can you make or direct me to a video that can give me some tips or theory on how to do so? My pawn game isn't bad, but it isnt great. Thanks in advance

  • after ...Bf8, you said that a better continuation would have been dxe5 nxd5

    Bd2 Bc6

    Nf5, but then, what is wrong with . . .g6?

  • Wow. This must've really sucked for the grandmaster.

  • correct: Nurlan Ibrayev vs Hetul Shah , because 9yo is black pieces.

  • It's the name of the video not a PGN file. Shah's name goes first. =)

  • can u post a video of someone beating thinking machine 4, its a chess program that is free and i can't beat.

  • Great speaker ^^

    Nice review
